Strange Spot with a set vs a polarized Range (NL 100)

CO: 71
BN: 122.90 (Hero)
SB: 171.95
BB: 189.10
UTG: 106.40
HJ: 189.58
Preflop (1.50) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt 4 4
UTG raises to 3, CO folds, Hero calls 3, SB calls 2.50, BB folds
Flop (10) 2 K 6 (4 Players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks
Turn (10) 4 (4 Players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets 7, SB folds, UTG raises to 30, Hero calls 23
River (70) 9 (3 Players)
UTG bets 73.40
He is all in and I cover him

Villain is unknown and we are playing an anonymous table.

Super strange spot I never got in before. After Villain checks twice and I hit my set on the Turn I thought that I would always have the best hand and wasnt shure how to approach this situation.

I think it is very taff to find a right answer and would be more interested in your thought process and your approach to this situation

Cheers, Jonas

Hey. 

Guess I'm calling, but mainly because nothing he has makes sense, makes me think hes running a bad bluff. Say he has a flopped set, Ive no idea why he's lead checking both flop and turn, So i rule that out.

Say he has a flopped Flush why Check raise turn, Looks strong, so i think he's going to lose a bunch of value. So i rule that out.

35, He raised UTG So i guess thats out.

Could be like JJ's trying to just pick it up on the turn, and now he thinks he has to bet to win.

I honestly dont know..But I'm a station so i call and make notes. 

What he have? i'm genuinely interested.

Super tough to say vs an unknown.  This is the top of our range so I lean towards a call.  Although you could argue than blocking a flush is more important for a calling range here.

this doesnt look like a bluff 2 me if he wanted 2 bluff why doesnt he just bet the turn after a check/check? this looks like the nuts 2 me. But without any stats and read i guess we cant fold. recommend takeing notes or watch which kind of play this guy uses ( TAG,LAG, Fish) against a tag i like a fold here.
